There has never been a female genre-film protagonist quite like Amy, the young woman at the center of Jason Banker’s new psychodrama FELT. Banker and star Amy Everson based that character on the latter’s own life and experiences, and both delve into the process in this interview.

While San Diego and New York Comic Con have largely been a mecca for geek culture and all of its facets, the immensely popular event has also been the home for horror fans to get their first look at the latest in upcoming frights. And while the impending ASH VS. EVIL DEAD panel looks to be among the horror highlights of the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, there will be more than enough gruesome goodness to go around as several fright flicks will be on hand to scare during the 4-day convention, including the latest on the big and small screen…

Now, the long-in-development sixth (and, according to producer Jason Blum, final) chapter of the franchise, entitled THE GHOST DIMENSION, finally has a trailer and luckily, it looks absolutely bonkers.

The 2015 New York Asian Film Festival gets underway this Friday, and amidst its many and varied offerings are a number of trips to the cinematic dark side. Read on to find out how you can win tickets to them!
